Homeric Hymn to Apollo

I am currently developing the idea of writing about the Homeric Hymn XXI to Apollo. I will be doing it in the next few days (probably not today as tomorrow is my immunology exam (which I consider something under the tutelage of Apollo), but then I will only have psychology so I can afford to write this) and submit it to Neokoroi for Apollo's page. I am also developing Asclepios' page for the same group, though I wont send it until I read the book I ordered through Amazon and just shipped today (Asclepius: Collection and Interpretation of Testimonies, by Emma J. Edelstein, Ludwig Edelstein, and Gary B. Ferngren).

With this shipment there are also loads of other books (namely Farnel's Cults of the Greek States, except volume 3 which was out of stock and will arrive later) and I have also ordered through a separate shipment Apollo the Wolf God by Daniel Gershenson, Apollo: the Wind, the Spirit and the God by Karl Kerenyi and Cults of Apollo at Sparta by Michael Pettersson, among other books about Delphi. I guess I will have a busy summer! It is so good to have my birthday just before my summer break!

I plan on making a summary or at least a review of each of these books and post it, probably on the Online Temple of Apollon and Asclepios, sometime in the next year.
